Case No. SC07-1757 (Fla. Dec. 13, 2007)

Opinion

Case No. SC07-1757.

December 13, 2007.

Lower Tribunal No(s). 5D07-751.


Because a writ of mandamus will not be issued where to do so would prove unavailing or compliance with it would be nugatory or without beneficial results to the petitioner, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See State ex rel. Ostroff v. Pearson, 61 So. 2d 325 (Fla. 1952); Campbell v. State ex rel. Garret, 183 So. 340 (Fla. 1938);see also State ex rel. Bergin v. Dunne, 71 So. 2d 746 (Fla. 1954) (mandamus will not be used to compel respondent to do vain or useless thing).

WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, QUINCE, and BELL, JJ., concur.
